There are few south Indian singers who made a mark for themselves in the world of Hindi film Music. I think Yesudas is one of them who was followed by SPB etc. I am a child as far as knowledge regarding earlier singers is concerned.

On the way, heavy rains forces him to take the shelter below the staircase of a building. The rains continue and the boy starts singing. An elderly person comes down from the upper floor of the building and takes the boy to his room. He asks the boy to sing the songs again which he was singing a short while ago. He is impressed by the boy’s singing. The rains stop and he accompanies the boy to drop him at his home. The elderly person requests boy’s mother, a school teacher, to let the boy join his music school. Before he completes his sentence, the mother tells him that she had no money to pay the fees. He assures her that he would not charge any fee for his music lessons. The mother is still not comfortable about her son joining the music school. She tells him that she does not want the boy’s schooling to be affected. The elderly person once again assures her that he would teach the boy only after his school timing is over. At last the mother agrees for her son joining the music school. The son was Vasantrao Deshpande and the elderly person was Shankarrao Sapre who was a trained classical singer of Gwalior gharana.

When the going gets completely traditional and classical, then the music directors always turn to that voice, which simply never ceases to amaze with its range and its control over the notes and the ragas. It is the voice of Manna Dey, the last of the old school classical singers, with a firm grounding in the traditional art form of music of the sub continent. A singer whose voice is the natural resting place for such classical icons as “Bhay Bhanjanaa Vandanaa Sun Hamaari”, “Laaga Chunri Mein Daag”, “Sur Na Saje Kya Gaaun Main”, “Kaun Aaya Mere Mann Ke Dwaare”, “Poochho Na Kaise Main Ne Rain Bitaai”, “Tere Naina Talaash Karen Jise”, “Aayo Kahaan Se Ghanshyam”, “Udd Jaa Bhanwar”, “Chali Raadhe Raani Akhiyon Mein Paani”, “Banaawo Batiyaan Haaye Kaahe Ko Jhoothi”, “Tu Chhupi Hai Kahaan” – and many more such fabulous classical creations.
